This symbol is to alert the
user of the presence of
dangerous voltages inside
the enclosure of the S4.3
Controller. To reduce the
risk of electric shock do not
remove any parts of the
S4.3 Controller.

This symbol is to alert the
user of important operating
instructions in the owner's
information accompanying
the S4.3 Controller.

Read all the instructions before connecting or
operating the S4.3 Controller. Pay particular
attention to the safety information. Keep this
manual so you can refer to these safety
instructions.

WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose the S4.3 Controller to
moisture or water. Do not allow foreign objects
to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed
to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the
enclosure, immediately disconnect the power
cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified
service person for inspection and necessary
repairs.

Clean the S4.3 Controller only with a dry cloth or
a vacuum cleaner.

Place the S4.3 Controller on a fixed, level surface
strong enough to support its weight. Keep the
S4.3 Controller away from radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or any other appliance that
produces heat.

GUARANTEE

All products are covered by a 2 year Return to Base guarantee for parts and labour. Site visits are
not covered by this guarantee and will normally result in a call out charge if such a visit is
requested or deemed necessar

y.

Although we have endeavoured to make this manual as comprehensive as possible, it does not
cover every aspect of every possible system installation. Please feel free to call our Technical
Service Department if you have any questions.

If the S4.3 Controller is placed in an enclosure,
there must be sufficient ventilation of the
enclosure to allow proper cooling.

Connect the S4.3 Controller to the power outlet
only with the supplied 3-pin grounded power
supply cable or an exact equivalent. The cable
should be connected to a properly grounded 3-
pin wall outlet. Do not modify the supplied cable
in any way. Do not use extension cords.

Do not route the power cord where it will be
crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, exposed
to heat, or damaged in any way. If the cable
shows any sign of wear or damage, immediately
stop using it and obtain a proper replacement
from a qualified service agency or from the
Systemline service department.

If the S4.3 Controller shows signs of improper
operation, or if it has been dropped or damaged
in any way, immediately disconnect the power
cord from the wall. Take the S4.3 Controller to a
qualified service person for inspection and
necessary repairs.
